dude the boas and pythons more so just chill after a bit,but the corn just shows more interest in everything.I have both and ive had snakes that act dang near dead in your hand.I do like my boa for just chillin but i was kindof borred not having something that moved around more.Its not sliding out of your hand the entire time,just a bit more fun to handle,they still hold on and such.The only thing about corns is if its your first snake,you will feel more experienced fast and may want something more exotic.Well ive had alot of the exotics and here i am years later with my rtboa and my corn because i think its nice to have one for each mood,lol.corns are great.Boas are great.pythons are too.I always hope if one bites me however,its the corn,lol.
